Answer:

The diameter of mirror $5\times10^{-6}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 2 μm

Resolution = 0.1

We need to calculate the diameter of mirror

Using formula of resolution

$resolution=0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{diameter}$

$diameter =0.25\times\dfrac{wavelength}{resolution}$

Put the value into the formula

$diameter=0.25\times\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.1}$

$diameter = 0.000005\ m$

$diameter = 5\times10^{-6}\ m$

Hence, The diameter of mirror $5\times10^{-6}\ m$

Determine the change in velocity of a car that starts at rest and has a final velocity of 20 miles per second North

Katen [24]

Answer: The change in velocity is 20mph

Explanation: The change in velocity is the difference between the final velocity and the initial velocity.

The initial velocity is 0 and the final velocity is 20mph.

Using the formula dV=Vf-Vi

dV=20-0

dV=20mph North

a basketball player can leap upward .65m how long does the basketball player remain in the air use 9.81m/s²

tigry1 [53]

At the player's maximum height, their velocity is 0. Recall that

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta y$

which tells us the player's initial velocity $v_i$ is

$0^2-{v_i}^2=-2g(0.65\,\mathrm m)\implies v_i=3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The player's height at time $t$ is given by

$y=v_it-\dfrac g2t^2$

so we find their airtime to be

$0.65\,\mathrm m=\left(3.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2\implies t=0.36\,\mathrm s$

A periodic wave with wavelength 2m has a speed of 4m/s. What is the waves frequency?.

Gekata [30.6K]

The wave frequency is 2 Hz.

What is wave frequency ?

The number of waves that pass through a fixed point in a given amount of time is referred to as the wave frequency. The hertz is the SI unit for wave frequency (Hz).

$f = v / w$

where,

$f = frequency\\v = speed \\w = wavelength$

Given,

$v = 4 m/s, w = 2 m$

$f = 4/2 \\f = 2 Hz\\$

The waves frequency is 2 Hz.
